Condition

There is a firing fissure of 1cm x 0.1cm beneath the rim on the backside running vertically right between the 2 petals on the 9 O'clock position, and an associated hairline to the interior, of around 2 cm, of most part beneath the glaze. As expected, the tips of a few of the petals on the rim as well as the underside are worn and slightly flaked. Otherwise the dish is in very good condition.
